    PRELIMINARY SETUP & ADJUSTMENTS ADJUSTING THE SEALING PLATFORM To insure a neat looking finished package, the sealing platform (1) can be adjusted so the seal made by the L Bar will be at the center of the vertical (profile) dimension of the package to be sealed. The system is available with two styles of sealing platforms: static or Silicone Fabric seal conveyor (2).
  • Page 8: Operating Procedures

    OPERATING PROCEDURES L SEALER OPERATION Due to the various types and gauges of shrink films, the sealing temperature control will require adjustment to obtain the optimum setting for the film being sealed. Always use the minimum setting that will provide a satisfactory seal to achieve maximum sealing wire and/or knife blade life and minimize replacement of Non-Stick tape and sealing pads.

     There is two controllers for the operation of your machine. The Main Control Panel (1) will control Seal Time, Dwell Time, and Conveyor Speed. It will also control Seal Conveyor Run Time if the HSE-100 is equipped with a Seal Conveyor. The Tunnel Temperature Controller is located on the top right portion of the tunnel.
